Economics and Labour

The challenge becomes greater if one’s objective (and this is the objective of the Community) to free time working to become donated time and not time sold, and to ensure that the work is a source of new life through the release of its own strengths and creative abilities, and not a source of death because of frustration resulting from the inability to see the usefulness of what is produced.
